Of course her heart is going to give out. Has it been two months already or has she just been running around alot? Mashima is so unpredictable. Perhaps that’s why he’s so dangerous. I do agree that there’s no absolute good or evil but Majima’s actions are clearly more than a step too far. Holy Mika is strong. Honestly I’m not sure if this show is trying to be serious or not.

The fight with Mashima was so quick it ended before the OP. Chisato used the sound of the gun to flashbang his ears basically. It’s kinda odd that he’s okay with firing guns without ear protection. Their eyes while lying on the floor were just dots. Actually there were more scenes like that. Oh no Yoshi is the real big bad. Not surprising and makes a lot more sense than him having a change of heart but its still a little disappointing.

They really did have another artificial heart prepared, which makes sense because breaking her old one wouldn’t make sense otherwise. Everyone in LycoReco except Chisato has their eyes on it. Wouldn’t they still need a surgeon to install it though. From the flashbacks it seems that Yoshi was the one who did the surgery the last time so it seems like in the end its up to him. The tower was one big trap designed to show the public the means the Lycoris will take.

Starting with sending Takina back to the DA, Chisato continues to try to distance herself from everybody, hoping they will continue living their lives as per normal. Takina clearly has other plans and I believe Kurumi and Mizuki are probably planning something as well. The rest of the cafe patrons remind Chisato of all the lives she’s impacted and those who would be sad over her death. Hopefully this also pushes her to find a way to continue living that does not compromise on her beliefs.

It looks like her heart wasn’t some emotional control unit or anything. I suppose this development makes a lot more sense that them being able to rewrite her emotions or something. I’m guessing their holding her life hostage. Something along the lines of, fulfil or destiny or die. Knowing Chisato, she’ll probably choose to just let herself pass away rather than taking the lives of others. I wonder what she meant when she said she didn’t have long in the first place anyway.

I suppose it was quite obvious even before, but the cold open was quite heavy handed in telling us that the Alan Institute believes that those gifted have a certain role to perform and have no choice in the matter. Thusly lies Yoshi’s motivation in trying to push Chisato back to killing. How specific are the roles though, do they need to accomplish a certain task or do they just need to act in a way befitting the talents they posses?

What? There was history between Mashima and Chisato? How did they not recognize her? How did no one recognize her? The radio tower seems like a important historical event, how did none of the hackers recognize him or know who the perpetrators were? Looks like it was a significant turning point for Chisato back then too. She looks so evil in the flashback. But also wow it was some time ago and she was so tiny too.

Wow they’re living together that’s amazing progress! And wow she lives underground? In a fake room. Takina is so accomodating to Chisato’s whims, changing the shifts to rock paper scissors because she called the roster boring. There’s a male version of Lycoris? They have to elaborate on that something. Also its kinda weird that they mention that the Lycoris were being identified by their uniform. It seemed too obvious I just imagined it was an excuse to have JK in the show.

A-1 and Claris? Looks like this is one worth watching! On a more serious note, I love the dynamic between Chisato and Takina and how she’s starting to open up. The reveal that Chisato has a metal heart was dropped out of the blue and it looked like Takina agreed. The revelation brought with it new questions such as why Chisato needed it in the first place and why it was the Alan Foundation and not the DA which provided it to her.
